In the reported 2024-25 institutional data, Christian Brothers University's four-year graduation rate was 41%, while its six-year rate was 55%. The difference shows why applicants should examine both an on-time completion measure and a longer window.
These rates generally follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree. They do not describe the graduation chances of every transfer, part-time, or graduate student. CBU's reported student retention rate was 75%, but retention and graduation measure different outcomes: returning for another year does not necessarily mean completing a degree. Students estimating their own timeline should also consider their major's course sequence, any transfer credits, and the affordability of each additional term.
Program-level earnings reported for Christian Brothers University vary substantially by field and should be read as outcomes for measured groups, not salary promises. College Scorecard figures supplied for roughly one year after completion include $68,648 for registered nursing, $65,131 for mechanical engineering, and $43,625 for business or commerce.
Other reported figures include $38,140 for clinical, counseling, and applied psychology and $31,354 for general psychology. A field label can cover more than one educational or career path, so applicants should confirm the credential and population behind any comparison. Earnings figures also omit important context such as hours worked, local labor markets, further study, and the debt a student takes on to complete a program.
For career preparation rather than measured earnings, CBU reports access to individual career counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job-search resources, employer recruiting, and alumni networking. These services may help students pursue opportunities, but their availability is not an employment guarantee.
